Equipment you will use

Oven

Cut around the stem ends of the peppers to remove a "hat" from each one with the stem in the center. Trim these hats at the base so they are about 1/2 inch thick.

Peppers

Base

Remove and discard interior seeds and ribs. Stand the peppers upright side by side in a gratin dish. (I put a ramekin in the center of the dish to help them stand up, and they were still leaning against but not over the side of the baking dish, which was OK.)
